Application inea March 15, i923.

To all whom t may concer/rt.'

Be it known that I, Planar K. VVinLr/iias, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Glastonbury, county of Hartford, State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Shaving- Stick Container, of which the following is a specification.

rIlhis invention relates to combined containers and holders for shaving sticks or similar articles.

@ne object of the invention is to provide an improved construction and arrangement of parts for `a receptacle of this character.

Another object of the invention is to provide a convenient form of shaving stick holder which is inexpensive to manufacture and handy to manipulate.

Other objects will be in part obvious and in part pointed out hereinafter.

'Ihis invention accordingly consists in. the features of construction, combinations of elements and arrangement of parts which will be eXemplied in the construction hereinafter set forth, and the scope of the application of which will be indicated in the appended claims.

In the drawing forming a part of the specification and in which similar reference characters refer to similar parts,-

Figure 1 is a view in side elevation of the various parts comprising the container and indicating the manner in which these parts it together; and

Figure Q/ is an assembly view thereof, with portions broken away to show the cooperation of the various parts.

Referring to the drawing in detail`- A designates the holder; B, the shaving stick secured thereto; and C, the cover or casing.

In the present illustrative disclosure, the holder A includes a baseA or cap having a threaded cylindrical portion orskirt 11 and an external shoulder 12. The holder, further, includes a clamping ring 13 having one end threaded so as to be screwed into the skirt 11 and having its other end contracted as at 14 to overlie the enlarged end 15 of the shaving stick B within the skirt 11. Intermediate its ends, the clamping ring 13 has a circumferential bead 16 which is preferably knurled so that a good finger grip may be had when it is desired to unscrew this ring from the base 10 for the purpose of replacing the soap stick.

The cover or casing C comprises a generally cylindrical or tubular member closed at one end and open at the other and is adapted tol fit over Athe free end of the shaving stick to protect it when not in use. As a means for removably securing the casing C to the holder A, the threaded portion or skirt 11 is provided with a plurality of short ribs 17 which are pressed from the sheet metal of which the holder is formed. These ribs are formed preferably by pressing out metal obliterating the thread directly beneath but without spoiling it elsewhere or interfering with the screwing Vof the ring 13 into the skirt 1l. These ribs are disposed at an angle so as to extend in a direction across the threads upon which they are superimposed. The casing C is provided with slots or grooves 18 spaced apart at distances corresponding to the spacing of the ribs 17 and which are inclined as the ribs 17 are inclined. The grooves 18 may be formed in any suitable manner, but` preferably, by pressing outwardly the metal of which the casing is formed. The grooves may extend in any suitable direction. As illustrated in this embodiment, they extend generally spirally. 'Ihe casing C is fitted to the holder A by inserting the ribs 17 at the beginning of the slots 18 and then turning the two parts with respect to each other until the edge of the casing abuts against the bead l2. The structure thus formed is a very inexpensive one to manufacture and simple to manipulate. At the same time, a good gripping action is thus provided between the holder and the casing.

Thus, by the above construction, are accomplished, among others, the objects here- Vinbefore referred to.

VZhat I claim is l. A shaving stick container comprising, in combination7 a sheet metal cap having threads pressed therein, a ring for encircling the shaving stick and threaded to engage the threads of said cap` whereby the soap stick is supported thereon, and a sheet metal casing to cover the free end of the shaving stick, said cap being provided with a short rib pressed outwardly from the metal at the threaded portion thereof and extending in a direction across the threads, and said casing being provided with a groove pressed therein cooperative with the rib on said cap.

2. A shaving stick container comprising, in combination, a sheet metal cap having threads pressed therein, a. ring tor encircling the shaving stick and threaded to engage the threads of said cap whereby the shaving stick is supported thereon, and a sheet metal casing to cover the free end of the shaving stick, said cap being provided with a lshort rib pressed outwardly troni the metal at the threaded portion thereof and extending in a direction across the threads removing only that portion of sneh threads lying therebeneath without mutilating the remainder, and said casing` being provided with a groove pressed therein cooperative with the rib on said cap.

3. A shaving stick container comprising, in combination, a sheet metal oap having threads or" relatively tine pitch pressed there in, a ring for encircling the shaving stick and threaded to engage the threads 0f said cap Awhereby the soap stiek is supported thereon, and a sheet metal casing to cover the free end of the shaving stick, said cap being provided on its threaded portion with project-ions pressed ont iardly troni the metal ot the threaded portion, said easingY being provided with a groove pressed therein adapted to receive and Cooperate with said projections whereby the casing is held on said cap, said groove of said casing haring a very coarse pitch as compared to the. relatively fine threads on said metal cap Vwhereby the casing and Cap may be quickly disengaged.

4L. A shaving stick container comprising, in combination, a cap havingT a threaded flange, a ring for encircling the shaving stick and threaded. to engage the threads ot said cap, said threaded connection between said ring and threaded flangel of said cap being ot tine or slow pitch, a easing having a threaded portion, said threaded tlange ot said eap being so 'formed on its exterior that it cooperates with said threaded portion on said easing as a holding means between the, Cap and easing, the connection between said cap and casing being ot coarser or 'faster pitch.
